The humans have managed to beat the artificial intelligence poker playing 'bot Polaris.
Link to Pokernews article here.
I think this raises a couple of questions.
Obviously the computer program just thinks of the cash as numbers and is programmed to try and get its bankroll value as high as possible, it will not think of its wins and losses in terms of $$$ so it will have an innate advantage on that score.
The article says that it is not set up to play online poker, is this the biggest threat to the online poker market? Once bots become unbeatable will online poker be able to survive, how will you know that your not playing an unbeatable super computer. I am sure the online sites will say they have developed security measures but can we be sure that they work.
